The Hollywood Sign is not allowed to be lit at night. Would you support a ballot measure?
Thursday, September 24th, 2009The Hollywood Sign is an international landmark known to almost every person on Earth. It has more power and influence than any world government or body. It can be argued that the Hollywood Sign is the Ellis Island/Statue of Liberty of the 21st Century.
Despite what most people think, the sign is not lit at night. A small handful of homeowners living beneath the sign have slapped lawsuits preventing L.A. from lighting the sign. Imagine the Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Big Ben or Eiffel Tower not being brightly lit. A small handful of people should not be able to control an international landmark.
What are your thoughts on the subject? and would you support a ballot measure allowing the Hollywood Sign to be lit?
Would u support the measure if the city & its taxpayers did not have to pay a dime for the equipment and power usage? How successful would you think to ask Hollywood studios to donate the cost of solar power cells and upkeep? They do owe their existance 2 her
i agree with ryan. people do not live near eiffel tower. u know what, the hollywood sign does not need to be lit because it’s already famous as it is. what difference does it make if it’s lit? the number of tourists will still be the same. and yeah, don’t waste energy. l.a.’s consuming too much already. im from l.a, i should know
